Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is an ever-evolving process; it is unlike any other martial art out there in that it fully utilizes the scientific method in order to determine what moves are still used. Not only did the Gracie family test out the effectiveness of the techniques dozens- if not hundreds- of times out in the street, but the techniques continued to be tested hundreds of thousands of times on the mats every day at the gym. Old techniques that are no longer effective are simply thrown out, while new techniques and new methods of doing the old techniques are created every day.

At Revolution BJJ, the program is geared towards achieving one’s highest level of competition possible, without compromising one’s basics. Structured instruction, coupled with lots and lots of “rolling” (live grappling sparring) are the emphasis, more so than the majority of other jiu jitsu gyms. With all of this live rolling with higher level guys, your game will progress very quickly. We think you’ll see improvements within the first month in the way you grapple.
